Commercial Roofing Experts Serving Ypsilanti, Michigan

Lincoln Park Roofing is an Owens Corning Preferred roofer delivering commercial roofing in Ypsilanti, MI — 6,000+ roofs completed in 35 years, and most Ypsilanti commercial roofing projects are booked within 5 business days. Before digging into specifics, some readers prefer the citywide overview built for roof work in Ypsilanti.

Ypsilanti's commercial roofing calls split roughly into two categories. Downtown and around Depot Town, the historic brick buildings along Michigan Ave and Cross St carry flat roof sections that have been recovered repeatedly since the 1800s, often with mismatched materials layered over each other from different eras of patchwork. Near Eastern Michigan University along Washtenaw Ave and Packard Rd, newer retail and office buildings serving the student population run more straightforward single-ply membrane systems. The historic buildings take longer to properly diagnose. The newer ones usually fail for more predictable reasons. The crew behind it is Lincoln Park Roofing's own, in-house, working this area since 1990.

Ypsilanti roof replacements require a permit through the city or Washtenaw County depending on the property, and we handle that application and the inspection coordination as part of the job. The National Roofing Contractors Association has found that close to half of commercial roof failures nationally come down to installation problems rather than the roofing material simply reaching the end of its life, and on Ypsilanti's older Depot Town buildings, that usually means an earlier patch job done without properly checking the deck underneath.

Written scope & timeline

“Depot Town has some of the oldest commercial buildings I work on anywhere in the area, brick construction going back to the 1850s and 60s, and a lot of those flat roof sections have been repaired so many times you're basically working through a history of every roofer who touched the building before you. Closer to campus it's a different story, newer construction, simpler systems, but the same principle applies either way. Know what you're looking at before you touch it.”

6 Commercial Roofing Issues We See Every Week in Ypsilanti

Victorian, Italianate, and Queen Anne homes (1855-1925) downtown with original slate, copper flashing, and decorative gables; surrounded by 1940s-90s ranches, Cape Cods, and 2000s subdivisions with mid-life shingles. These are the failure modes our crew documents most often on Ypsilanti commercial roofing calls:

Ponding water on flat roofs

Historic brick buildings in Depot Town have flat roof sections built up over more than a century of additions and repairs, and the resulting unevenness collects standing water in low spots after nearly every rain.

EPDM seam separation

Buildings near campus along Washtenaw Ave that were re-roofed with EPDM in past decades are now showing seams lifting at the parapet walls, a common failure point once that rubber membrane passes the thirty year mark.

Failing TPO seams

Newer retail construction closer to Eastern Michigan University went with TPO membranes, and the earliest of those installs are now reaching the fifteen to twenty year window where the welded seams begin to fail.

Metal roof rust & panel gaps

A few older buildings near Huron St and the riverfront carry standing-seam metal roofing where humidity off the Huron River has accelerated fastener corrosion enough to shift panels and open gaps.

Clogged roof drains & scuppers

Depot Town's older drains and scuppers were built for a different era of rainfall, and a single blocked scupper during a heavy Michigan storm can trap well over a thousand gallons against the roof edge before the water finds its way inside.

Leaks around HVAC curbs

Buildings that added rooftop HVAC units to serve student housing or retail near campus over the years frequently have flashing at the curb bases that doesn't match the original historic roofing system, and that's usually the leak source.

How often should a Ypsilanti commercial flat roof be inspected?

We recommend twice a year for Ypsilanti commercial flat roofs, spring to check for freeze-thaw damage and fall before snow season arrives. The historic Depot Town and downtown buildings benefit from a closer inspection given how many roofing layers some of them carry from decades of prior repairs, where a small problem can hide longer than it would on a newer building near campus. We offer annual maintenance contracts for Ypsilanti commercial properties, historic and modern alike.

Commercial Roofing Cost in Ypsilanti, MI (2026)

Most Ypsilanti commercial roofing projects cost between $3,500 and $45,000. Flat-roof leak repair on a small commercial building start at $2,500. Timeline: 1-5 days depending on system and square footage.

Commercial roofing in Ypsilanti runs from about $3,500 for a leak repair up to $45,000 for a full replacement, and the historic buildings around Depot Town and downtown Michigan Ave tend to cost more given what's typically layered underneath, decades of patch jobs, aging brick parapets, and decking that's older than almost anything else we work on in the area. A newer building near campus with a simpler single membrane roof usually costs less to repair or replace since there's less history to untangle first.

★★★★★

“A property owner near Depot Town said the two other contractors she called both quoted a full roof tear-off without ever climbing up to look, based entirely on the building's age. Our crew got on the roof, found the leak was actually a single failed seam near a parapet wall, and repaired just that section instead of pushing a much bigger job. She said it was the first estimate she'd gotten that matched what was actually wrong with her building instead of just its age.”

Commercial Roofing FAQ — Ypsilanti

Quick answers to the commercial roofing questions we hear most from Ypsilanti homeowners.

How often should a Ypsilanti commercial flat roof be inspected?

We recommend twice a year for Ypsilanti commercial flat roofs, spring to check for freeze-thaw damage and fall before snow season arrives. The historic Depot Town and downtown buildings benefit from a closer inspection given how many roofing layers some of them carry from decades of prior repairs, where a small problem can hide longer than it would on a newer building near campus. We offer annual maintenance contracts for Ypsilanti commercial properties, historic and modern alike.

How much does commercial roofing cost in Ypsilanti, MI?

Commercial roofing in Ypsilanti generally costs $3,500 to $45,000, with a small flat-roof leak repair starting around $2,500. The historic buildings around Depot Town and downtown Michigan Ave tend to run higher once a full replacement is needed, given the layered roofing history and older decking common in buildings from the 1800s. Newer construction near Eastern Michigan University with simpler membrane systems usually costs less. We inspect before quoting either type.

Are you licensed and insured for commercial roofing in Ypsilanti?

Yes. Lincoln Park Roofing has been Michigan-licensed since 1996, we've been doing this work since 1990, and every commercial job in Ypsilanti is covered by full liability and workers' compensation insurance. We use our own crew, never subcontractors, which matters on the historic Depot Town buildings where the work requires knowing how to handle decades of prior roofing layers.

Do you pull permits for commercial roofing in Ypsilanti?

Yes, Ypsilanti roof replacements require a permit through the city or Washtenaw County depending on the property, and we handle that application and the inspection coordination as part of the job. Historic buildings around Depot Town sometimes need additional documentation given their age, which we take care of so you don't have to navigate it yourself.

How fast can you start commercial roofing in Ypsilanti?

Most Ypsilanti commercial jobs start within a few days of the inspection, and the actual roofing work takes one to five days depending on the system and the building's size. A seam repair on a smaller building near campus might be a one-day job, while a full replacement on a larger historic Depot Town building takes longer to do properly. Active leaks get same-day emergency tarping, 24/7.

What warranty do you offer on commercial roofing in Ypsilanti?

Every commercial job comes with a 10-year unconditional labor warranty, no ventilation loophole or condition that could void it later. The membrane manufacturer's own material warranty applies as well, and on the historic Depot Town buildings we walk owners through exactly what's covered given how many roofing layers are typically involved, since older buildings sometimes complicate what a standard warranty assumes about the roof underneath.

Do you serve neighborhoods beyond Ypsilanti?

Yes, we serve commercial properties throughout Ypsilanti and into neighboring Belleville, Van Buren Township, and Canton, plus the wider Washtenaw and Western Wayne County area. Whether your building is downtown near Depot Town or out toward Eastern Michigan University, we'll come out for an inspection on the same terms we'd offer a building closer to our Lincoln Park base.

Where can I find the best commercial roofing company near me in Ypsilanti?

Look for a contractor who's actually Michigan-licensed, uses their own crew, and knows how to properly diagnose an older building instead of assuming a full tear-off is the only option. Lincoln Park Roofing has served Ypsilanti and the surrounding area since 1990, from Depot Town seam repairs to newer TPO installs near campus.
